- NetNews Starter Code Package (NNSCP) October 1990
- ===================================================
- If you have picked up this code in hopes of finding a nifty new news reader
- you will be disappointed and should probably stick with one of the HyperCard
- based readers. If, on the other hand, you've thought about tinkering with a
- news reader you may find this a useful starting point. The code requires
- Think C 4.0 or later and MacTCP. While this code does produce a perfectly
- acceptable new reader (I use it as my sole news reader), it is best viewed as
- sample code. The user interface is cumbersome in parts and the code is not
- robust enough to be considered a finished product. I call this code a starter
- package because it implements a "news reader in the raw", base functionality,
- ready to be customized with features of your design.
